The Amphibious Landing Craft Market in Europe, Asia Pacific, North America, Middle East, and Africa, Latin America and China appear to be highly fragmented due to the presence of several international, regional, and local vendors. Amphibious Landing Craft providers compete intensely in terms of price, quality, regulatory compliance, and innovation. To attain a competitive advantage over the other players, the vendors are focusing on technological innovations and RandD investments. The high growth potential of the market encourages the entry of several start-ups and adoption of inorganic strategies and this will, in turn, impact the performance of the vendors in the Capital Goods, Aerospace and Defense Sector.

Amphibious landing craft refers to vessels that are used to move defense troops to and from navel carriers. Technavio’s amphibious landing craft market analysis considers sales from the amphibious armored combat vehicles (ACVs) and armored personnel carriers (APCs), air cushion vehicle, and landing craft utility (LCU) and landing craft mechanized (LCM) segments. Our analysis also considers the sales of amphibious landing craft in APAC, Europe, MEA, North America, and South America. In 2018, the amphibious ACVs and APCs segment held the highest market share, which is expected to remain prevalent over the forecast period. Factors such as the rising use of amphibious ACVs and APCs in peacemaking missions and the growing procurement of these vessels by countries to improve naval dominance will significantly help the segment in maintaining its leading market position. Also, our global amphibious landing craft report has observed market growth factors such as the upgrade of capabilities to counter emerging threats, increasing commercial adoption of amphibious landing craft, and rise in the number of joint operations. However, global macroeconomics, limited effectiveness due to technological constraints, and high RandD and operational costs resulting in the cancelation of ongoing projects may hamper the growth of the amphibious landing craft industry over the forecast period.

Global Amphibious Landing Craft Market Overview:

Upgrade of capabilities to counter emerging threats

Terrorist attacks on surface transportation, such as military convoys have been increasing. As a result, governments are procuring alternate advanced transport modes, such as assault amphibious vehicles (AAVs), for soldiers. Consequently, the demand for amphibious landing craft is growing. The rising troop mobilization across national borders is also increasing the need for modernized transport systems. Capitalizing on these needs across regions, vendors have been offering variants of amphibious landing craft with advanced technologies that deliver a high level of safety and mission readiness. These factors will drive the expansion of the global amphibious landing craft market at a CAGR over 4% during the forecast period.

Integration of directed-energy weapons (DEWs)

The race for military dominance has been prompting countries such as the US and the Russian Federation to modernize their defense weapons and fleet. In the wake of this need, vendors are incorporating technologies such as directed-energy weapons (DEWs) into amphibious landing craft. Various types of DEWs are available, and they possess immense potential for military applications. For instance, microwave DEWs are anti-material, and hence, can be used to destroy missiles, ships, and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAVs). Countries procuring such technologically advanced amphibious landing craft will gain a military edge. As a result, the trend of integrating DEWs into amphibious landing craft will have a positive impact on the overall market growth.
